How Much Does a Carport Cost?

Costs For Kits and Custom Designed Options

Building a carport is still the least expensive choice when it comes to vehicle storage options. The construction costs of building a garage can be well over $10,000 whereas a carport can be as low as $1000. Keep in mind that the installation of a carport is not a typical do it yourself project, a variety of contractors (electrical, carpentry, concrete.) may be needed in order to complete the job properly. If you have a custom carport made then this will be taken care of by the builder.

Whether you choose to buy a carport kit or have a custom carport built you will need to consider these options:

Site preparation – Preparing The surface

A cement slab – Pouring concrete for the foundation

Installation – Licensed builders are preferred

Building permits & Council fees – Most carports require council approvals

Carport Kits

The typical costs for self installed Carport Kits – DIY

When considering the costs associated with the building of a carport, the following must be considered. These are costs to use as a guide when managing the project yourself. If you prefer to have a company look after the entire project would need to get a quote to get accurate figures.
